Jerrold E. Lomax landmark in Glendale

Lomax

The Glendale home of Aida and Vahe Yeghiazarian looks like a concrete fortress from the front: blank, angular and windowless. But the design by Jerrold E. Lomax opens up dramatically in back, shown here, with an upstairs bedroom overlooking the pool and banks of glass connecting the inside to the outdoors. The Yeghiazarians worked to honor the architect's original concept without sacrificing their own personal tastes.

Inside the home, floor-to-ceiling panels of glass are a vision of precision. The Yeghiazarians say they have always loved the house, but their appreciation for the design has continued to grow since they bought the property in 2000. "I study the lines of it, the perfection of how it's put together," Vahe says.
